The Campaign in Poland 1806–07
The campaign in Poland was one of the most gruelling and challenging of the Napoleonic Wars. Fought in two distinct phases, the winter of 1806-07 and the summer of 1807, it produced some of the most hard-fought battles of the era and is a great source of scenarios for wargames. We have played several games based on battles from this campaign and have others planned for the near future.

The 1809 Campaign
Dubbed the 'apogée of the Empire' by Hourtoulle and 'last success' as David Chandler this is a favourite amongst many Napoleonic wargamers (me included, JF). As with 1806-07, the main campaign had two distinct phases, the autumn attack by the Austrians, rapidly countered and defeated by Napoleon up to the ill-fated attack at Aspern-Essling (Napoleon's first defeat?), followed by the French victories of Wagram and Znaim and the eventual Treaty of Schönbrunn. Additionally there were 'side', but important fronts in Poland, central Germany, the Tyrol and Italy.

This is one of the best blogs on Napoleonics. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donald; too kind.
DeleteI believe Napoleon would have made 4 Marshals had they been either alive or in one case not politically ostracized. The latter Moreau, I think, would have been the first selected. Desaix (died on 1800) would have been next if not top 3. Kleber (died in 1800 as well) and Joubert (died in 1799) would have also been given their batons. Just food for thought.
